Watching?

I just finished reading “I, Claudius” and “Cladius the God” this month. Didn’t know there was a series / movie, would you recommend it?

(I highly recommend the books FWIW, although I prefer the more modern writing style of the Cicero trilogy)

It's a solid 70s era BBC production. That should tell you everything +/- per your prefs. "Horses for courses" as they say over there!

He might be able to rely on them, but can they rely on him? It's fully possible he consults them then completely misses or butchers the message (really I have no idea, I know very little about him)

Competent underlings just means that delegation works to make him look better, it doesn't make him or his actions any smarter or more effective.

Too expensive, yet probably still too cheap to make up for their cost of developing and running it. Don’t expect prices to go down. Or if they superficially go down, the models just consume more tokens per task so your bill still increases in the end.

It's only available on the $100-$200/month subscription plans until June 22nd, after which they're going to be charging everyone the full API token price. Then it's going to be really expensive.

(I think it may even be expensive enough for them to recoup their costs, unless OpenAI or Gemini put out a similar capability model before Anthropic have had a few months to make bank from it. There was that rumored customer who spent $500m in a single month, and that was just for Opus!)

Ah, well that makes sense. Will be interesting to see what adoption looks like for a model that’s billed at a more realistic price-point towards profitability.

To nitpick, the “M” in XM is “mark”, no?

Would have been nicer if they stayed in the literary sphere rather than films. But funny nonetheless lol.

To a certain extend I can fully accept that GH has scaling issues because of the insane traffic increase from AI generated code. But they are owned by one of the largest technology companies in the world, who also happens to run a hyperscaler.. so..

Hardly newsworthy, everything is mocked on the internal slack lol.

Make it anonymous. Now that would be newsworthy.

Anonymous is the hero we need here for sure

9 is next to 0, so my guess was typo.

Which is pretty much aligned with what more level-headed people predicted would happen, if my memory is correct. There was a strong push for UK to leave EU, but it was more based on emotion than rational. Of course the 'right' used the narrative of prosperity to get votes, but it never really made sense economically to leave the strong economic power of the EU and try to be independent again.

The UK is not the empire it was once, they need ties with mainland Europe, their closest trading partners, to be economically viable. So this doesn't entirely come as a surprise to me.

>Of course the 'right' used the narrative of prosperity to get votes

They used lies. Literal fabrications out of whole cloth.

They said that the UK was spending hundreds of millions of pounds on the EU, and if they pulled out they could use that money on like the NHS or something.

Lies.

Of course this was painted as "project fear", and Michael Gove famously said that people had had enough of experts.

Your username is weirdly on point for discussion of the topic at hand i guess xD

To add to the other posters, keep-the-lights-on usually means a product has no active feature development. It’s just supported with on-call and maybe some bug fixes depending on capacity.

No clue if Cognito actually was KTLO though.
